La roma caffe

This picture establishes the location of where these images have been captured. I used a wide shot to attempt to fit the entire image of the cafe into the frame. However, a car unfortunately blocked part of the image, which diverts the focus slightly on the moving image, despite being in less focus than the cafe. The lighting in this picture is also very bright, I made use of the ambient natuyral lighting, from the daylight, therefore incorporating a flash on the camera was not neccessary.

This picture was added as it helps set the atmosphere of a cafe, it is also an everyday item because I see these signs outside cafes on a daily basis.

In this picture, I like how the cup is in focus whilst the background is not, therefore leading the viewer's focal point to the cup rather than the background. it places more emphasis and significance to that particular item. However, I could have improved this image by also incorporating the rest of the plate in the image, rather than just cutting it off the frame.

I used a high angle shot to capture this cup of coffee because I wanted to experiment with the different angles of the same object to see which one I could use for my final piece. I also used a close up to emphasize the detailing of the sprinkles on the coffee, whilst the closeness of the shot indicates the significance of the item. I also used a high angle shot because I wanted to focus on the sprinkles and the froth, instead of the coffee mug.

This photo appears slightly blurry and out of focus. I also dislike how the top of the ketchup bottle has been cut off the image, as it would have been more aesthetically pleasing to capture the whole object without cutting parts out of the picture.



The composition of the ketchup bottle and the salt in this picture is centered to emphasize the significance of the two items. It is also the focal point in the image as the spot light leads the viewer's focus to the items. I also like the simplicity within the colour shcene of this image. the colour borwn is very prominent which contrasts with the colour white from the salt and ketchup lid. These muted oak colours connote feelings of warmth and posseses an antique quality that Stephen Shore tends to incoporate within his photography.





I used a close up, eye level shot in this image. This differed from the pervious images because i used a lot of high angle shots to diminish the importance of the subject of the image. However this eye level angle shows subjects as we would expect to see them in real life, therefore seeing this ketchup bottle and salt how we would in reality. Furthermore, to avoid the problem of unintentionally cutting parts of the object out of the frame, i used a portrait shot as the objects/subject of the image is quite long.
